Best of the best........2007-09-14

You can find endless books on inspiration, business, life, and success. However, this is the first book I believe that can accommodate family, business, and spiritual life all together. Anyone can write a book on a particular subject but writing a book on balancing spiritual and material life, Azim is the one. Thank you Azim.

Great Book!.......2004-08-13

This book is a great source of information, and a good read. I am self-employed, and have myself picking up the book as a reference tool when confused about tax questions related to my business. Gary has done a really nice job infusing the book with enough of his fun personality to make what would normally be very boring and dry, quite interesting and even humorous.

Help! I Owe Back Taxes.......2004-03-24

Gary Smith's book saved me a bundle - not just money but fear and loathing of dealing with past IRS debt - which had been hanging over my head for years! Now I can look forward to clearing remaining debts instead of the absurb possibility of paying off the IRS from a meager Social Security check! The information is fresh and easy to use. I give it 5 stars.

Book Description

The Toboggan Ride to Tyranny

Your right to trial by a randomly selected jury -- not one stacked with jurors who swear to convict in advance -- is gone.

The IRS can now seize your bank account, paycheck, and house -- without so much as a judge's order. Your banker will help them.

Vietnam veterans and their wives, and 68-year-old engineers, are in federal prisons on "drug" charges -- despite the fact they never sold, touched, or even saw a single gram of cocaine or marijuana.

The Founders guaranteed Americans the right to keep and bear arms for defense against their own government. But the meager legal arms of the Branch Davidians were no match for government tanks and helicopters at Waco. National gun registration led to confiscation in oncr-free England and Australia. And national gun registration began in the U.S. on December 1, 1998.

How did we get to this point? Is there any peaceful way back from the toboggan ride to tyranny? The answers are in "Send in the Waco Killers," by America's syndicated Libertarian columnist, Vin Suprynowicz.

Customer Reviews:

Thank god.......2007-07-27

Finally someone speaks out against the libtard Clinton dolts who were trying to ruin our lives. It is good, no it is stupendous literature that should be read by every American who does not want to be a zombie slave under a socialistic movement that the Dems are trying to pull about as we speak. Long live our freedom and individual responsibility, so that the lazy turds who want the government to think for them can move to Canada or wherever they want to be relocated to.

Libertarian Honesty, from Cover to Cover.......2003-07-25

Author and journalist Vin Suprynowicz has something to say about the political climate in the United States. He doesn't like the government's excesses of control, the lying, the manipulation, and the almost complete disregard for the constitution. A strong proponent of individual liberty and personal responsibility, Vin covers many topics in this book that relate to government run amok, all with an inspired fervor and a very Libertarian angle.

Starting with the first chapter, Vin talks about where Americans have gone wrong since the founding fathers established the constitutional framework that suited the nation well for so many years. Juries are now "stacked" in an attempt to control the outcome of a trial; guns are confiscated in direct violation of the second amendment; people are sent to prison just because they choose to smoke a plant; and school children are indoctrinated to ensure that they are all slaves to the supreme command of the state, from now and into the future.

After commenting directly on the miserable failure of these various government policies, Vin describes countless examples of how government power has been used to manipulate individuals and destroy their lives. You can read all about hard working Americans who had their rights trampled on by government, like a man who saw his farm business wrecked by government officials who declared areas of his farm a wetland, and refused to allow him to farm on it, then refused to allow it to be used for other purposes either, making it worthless. Another true story covers a woman who was harassed by government because she refused to lie (yes, you heard me correctly) and disclose inaccurate ingredient listings on her company's pet foods.

Vin also talks about the government debacle at Waco and he gives sound reasons for why, he believes, the government is solely responsible for the deaths of the Branch Davidian members. He talks about the failed war on drugs, pointing out how government has used this disastrious policy to erode individual liberty.

Suprynowicz is a very outspoken person, and his in- your- face style might make some people uncomfortable. He frequently resorts to sarcasm and he provides countless examples of how government has ruined people's lives through its ruthlessness and its total failure to follow the constitution.

"Send in the Waco Killers" is well- written and easy to understand. Vin is a skilled wirter who knows exactly how to take an ordinarily complex situation and state it in a way that will make sense to most anyone. This book is one of the best I have read, and it was even recognized by freemarket.net as the "Freedom Book of the Year" in 1999. It's a book that everyone should read, just to see how far government has pushed its will on the people and how we, as a nation, are slowly marching toward a police state as each day passes.

The Ugly Truth.......2003-04-20

I was originally turned off by the title of the book. However, it had been recomended to me by a friend. I have to say that it turned out to be the most thoughtful, well reasoned, documented accounting of just how far out of control the Federal Government has gotten over the years that I have ever read. The point is driven home over and over again in this book that every Constitutional protection you thought you had can be abused, with no consequences, by the Federal Government. Think the money you worked hard for all you life is yours? Think again. Federal police, with local police support can seize it and any other property they covet with impunity. And the cop that takes it gets to profit in the transaction. Think you have a right to a trial by a jury of your peers? Wrong again. Jury picking has become an art, designed to eliminate anyone who may be sympathetic to your views. Think the Constitutional guarantee in the 2nd amendment means what it says? Well, you are probably breaking one of the 20,000 gun laws already in affect, directed against honest Americans like you and I, and don't even know it. And if you are caught by one of these "Special Militia" ( ATF, DEA, FBI that we were warned against over and over by the founding fathers) you will spend more time in jail than a bank robber. Think you cannot be murdered by the Federal Police without justice being done to the ones who murdered you or your family members? You are living in a dream world. This book should be required reading by every 9th grade civics class in America. But of course, as is pointed out in this book, these "Government Schools" will do everything in its power to ensure that your children will NOT understand the true meaning of our Constitution.
This is a Must Read.

Libertarian Bible for the 21st cenutry!.......2003-02-17

While writing from a Libertarian and non-religious perspective, Vin takes us across the gamut of current attitudes and the hopes and aspirations of self-sufficient, liberty minded, and responsible persons everywhere. Vin really nails it as to the virus and bacteria infection that holds this land in an ever tightening grip as it chokes our very lives. What kind of virus is this?

1. The Public School. 1.6 Billion dollars later a Kansas City School still cant stop truancy and raise test scores. Vin finally says what many have screamed from years, that you cant fix the public school system because its ALREADY WORKING. Vin give you history of development of public schools, statistics, and then contrasts a public school with home schoolers who are doing tremendously better, at a fraction of the cost, and in fact raises test scores and perfromance across all class, and racial lines!

2. Gun control. I dont even need to describe this canard.

3. Unaccountable Federal Agencies. Whether its the DEA, the INS or even the Farm bureau, the activities of various 'protectors of independance', who used to leave us sorely disappointed, but who know take family farms and get people killed.

4. Restriction of Jury Trials and the rights of jurors to be fully informed of their 1200 year old right to judge not only the facts of the case, but also the law!

5. A lapdog press that does whatever a corporate or government interest dictates. This is why more and more Americans read European newspapers or otherwise use the internet to get the real news. Vin documents the attitude of the press and gives personal experiences with getting his own column published. You need to read Vin's article on the press to fully appreciate the fog let off with the current Iraq situation.

Now all of the above problems are such that they can be solved with the ballot box, and appropriate education. That is why this book is important. When the public propaganda school system is dismantled by default, when the jurisdictions of various government agencies are curtailed by consisten not guilty verdicts by fully informed juries excercising their rights to nullify the law, this apocolyptic revolution that every right wing crackpot spouts as being inevitable will never occur, thank God. ...

Vin's a voice in the wilderness, whom we need to hear.......2002-03-04

For the past several years, there has been a lonely libertarian writing a column for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and now his columns have been collected and sorted by subject. He and I don't agree about absolutely _everything,_ but then, we do agree about the important things, like doing something about the inexorable growth of the Nanny State into an all-devouring shoggoth. If the news media weren't so single-mindedly leftist, his columns would reach the wider audience they deserve.

Book Description

More than any other advanced industrial democracy, the United States is besieged by firearms violence. Each year, some 30,000 people die by gunfire. Over the course of its history, the nation has witnessed the murders of beloved public figures; massacres in workplaces and schools; and epidemics of gun violence that terrorize neighborhoods and claim tens of thousands of lives. Commanding majorities of Americans voice support for stricter controls on firearms. Yet they have never mounted a true national movement for gun control. Why? Disarmed unravels this paradox.

Based on historical archives, interviews, and original survey evidence, Kristin Goss suggests that the gun control campaign has been stymied by a combination of factors, including the inability to secure patronage resources, the difficulties in articulating a message that would resonate with supporters, and strategic decisions made in the name of effective policy. The power of the so-called gun lobby has played an important role in hobbling the gun-control campaign, but that is not the entire story. Instead of pursuing a strategy of incremental change on the local and state levels, gun control advocates have sought national policies. Some 40% of state gun control laws predate the 1970s, and the gun lobby has systematically weakened even these longstanding restrictions.

A compelling and engagingly written look at one of America's most divisive political issues, Disarmed illuminates the organizational, historical, and policy-related factors that constrain mass mobilization, and brings into sharp relief the agonizing dilemmas faced by advocates of gun control and other issues in the United States.

A splendid book.......2007-03-09

The book is wonderful, scholarly, stocked to the teeth with data and strong argument. The typical gun nut wack job response can be seen in one of the existing 'reviews,' which features the hilarious claim that the 1968 Gun Control Act is to blame for the school shootings of recent years. Of course, the 'a few cards short of a full deck' N.ecrophile R.eactionary A.-holes rave, gun control advocates are not simply people who would like some rational social policy to lessen the chances that their children or other loved ones will be shot dead at school, at a mall, or in the living rooms of their own home. Oh, no, that's just what they WANT you to believe. They actually WANT TO ESTABLISH A FASCIST DICTATORSHIP in America. WOOOO WOOOOO! WATCH OUT! THE BLACK HELICOPTERS ARE COMING! THE BLACK HELICOPTERS ARE COMING!

The most astonishing thing in contemporary American politics is that rational Americans sit by and watch a minority of kooks who believe absurdities like that to control gun policy. Abstention from political participation on this issue is morally reprehensible. The gun nuts can perhaps be excused for their stupidity by simple reason of insanity, but the person who recognizes the NRA as the fringe wack job organization it is and does nothing about it is morally culpable for contributing to the deaths of the kids who will be shot dead today, tomorrow, and in the days, weeks, and months to come. Shame.

Excellent Book.......2006-11-13

This excellent book tackles a continuing paradox in American public life: why despite overwhelming public opinion in favor of gun control does America not have an effective gun control movement? Professor Kristin Goss provides an incisive and thoughtful analysis of this paramount issue. The book is compellingly argued and well researched, and is written in a straight forward and concise manner that is rare in academic texts. I am puzzled by the first posted review: did the reviewer actually read Prof. Goss' book? It appears that the reviewer merely used his space to advance his own pro-gun agenda. This book is not a gun control screed, as the first reviewer would have it be. In fact Prof. Goss devotes an entire chapter to problems with the gun banning philosophy. The book is a careful and well-balanced discussion of the political roots one of the most troubling features of American life, the persistence of firearms violence. I highly recommend this captivating book to all who seek to broaden their understanding of the politics of gun control.

Another Dishonest Argument.......2006-10-29

Disarmed: The Missing Movement ..., by Kristin A. Goss

Kristin A. Goss, Assistant Professor of "Public Policy Studies" at Duke University claims there are grassroots sympathizers who can't be mobilized for Gun Prohibition policies because of a lack of data from one Federal agency. This is very dishonest! There is no evidence for the existence of hidden sympathizers at all; it is a fantasy. Her dishonest claim is to get a Federal agency to take the side of the privately supported Gun Prohibition groups, since the multi-millionaires who pay for this propaganda have spent all they can afford. The "Million Mom March" was one example of clever advertising to create an AstroTurf movement that soon collapsed for a lack of funds.

Since criminology was invented over two centuries ago they learned that a poor economy creates more crime. If the paid proponents of Gun Prohibition were straight and honest they would ask for an $8 Federal minimum wage, a $50,000 standard income tax exemption, and a 40% tariff on imports to create prosperity at home and fight the Global Warming that results from Global Trade. But they can't, they are only puppets on a string. Those foolish enough to believe Gun Prohibitionist propaganda should better educate themselves. School shootings were unknown and unimaginable before the 1968 Gun Control Act was passed. Teenagers acquired familiarity with guns even if they lived in a city. The most despicable act of Gun Prohibitionists was to create "Gun Free Zones" in schools so as to attract lunatics whose outrages would advance their agenda. An egalitarian society is a safe society.

Five centuries ago Machiavelli noted that only those nations where the people are armed are free of foreign or domestic tyranny. The attacks on the Second Amendment began around 1877 with the rise of a newly powerful corporate aristocracy and the fight against a "well-regulated militia". After they succeeded around 1919 they began to attack "the right to keep and bear arms". They also advanced other policies that attacked and impoverished the middle-class and ordinary people. Their hidden agenda is to turn America into a third-world nation where most people live in poverty and a tiny but powerful aristocracy lords it over them with a 'King George' as a figurehead.

One part of their army is the university system. Mostly created by 19th century freebooters who looted and defrauded to get rich, they exist to spread propaganda as a form of education. Their philosophy was concocted to suppress democracy and advance the powers of their corporate masters. They molded young minds to prevent them from recognizing the truth. Pavlov may have formulated the conditional reflex of physiology, but the effects were well known for centuries. If they can condition students to believe something and then reinforce these beliefs via the corporate media, they will control the hearts and minds of their subjects.

You will have to search elsewhere for the truth lacking in this biased book. I wonder if Goss will be fired for a lie (like Michael Bellesiles)?

Nice piece of scholarly work........2000-01-04

On the whole, the work was put together nicely. Although the two editors acknowledge for purposes of full disclosure their preferences towards a certain degree of gun control, they take care to differentiate between their scholarly work and their personal opinions. They present a number of well-balanced essays covering gun control and gun politics. For those seeking pro-gun or anti-gun propaganda to fit preconceived notions towards this policy arena, I suggest you find other material. Books from Wayne LaPierre or Sarah Brady would suffice for those purposes. However, this book is perfect for a researched and documented study of a full array of perspectives on gun control and gun policy.

It is true that people approaching this book from one or the other perspective will inevitably disagree with some parts. For instance, I found myself extremely disappointed with Diana Lambert's hit piece against the NRA titled: Trying to Stop the Craziness of This Business. On the other hand, the use of John Kingdon's agenda model (from his book on policy agendas) as applied to the area of gun control made for fascinating and insightful reading. The book could have been better, but it unquestionably deserves a higher rating than other reviews have given. Do not let the biased opinions of ideologues dissuade you from buying it. Dr. Bruce and Dr. Wilcox are both well-respected scholars in their fields, and they have done an outstanding job with this work.

The Gun Control Movement Review.......2000-05-12

In recent years Twayne Publishers has done a fine service for the study of social movements through a series of now twenty-five short studies. These have included such movements as the American Peace Movement, the Antinuclear Movement and the Creationist Movement. While varying in analytical content, they have provided an unusually valuable basis for describing and thinking about the variety of objects contained in the term "Social Movements." Gregg Lee Carter, Professor of Sociology at Bryant College, has added another highly useful volume to that series. Carter's emphasis is largely on two gun control organizations, Handgun Control, Inc. (HLC) and the counterorganization, the National Rifle Association (NRA). Carter also analyses some of the issues and thinking about guns in the U.S., such as their relation to violence, the impediment to gun control in the Second Amendment, and what he describes as the "myth of the frontier legacy." Carter opens with a chapter on the relation of violence to guns and finds the data research ambiguous. In concluding the chapter he poses what he calls the central question for the rest of the book: "why the gun control movement has seen so little success. Why does the United States lack strict national gun control laws?" Much of the remainder of the book attempts to answer this question by closer analysis of the two organizations: the HLC and the NRA. Carter's analysis of the Second Amendment and the alleged role of a frontier legacy convinces him that these often cited explanations have little factual basis; yet the limited victories of the gun control movement and the successful opposition of the NRA remains a problem. The question is deepened by his analysis of polls. Large majorities support control measures although their intensity and commitment may not be deep. The author emphasizes that while the public appears supportive of gun control, they did not approve of banning guns. This reluctance, as he describes it, has been a defining issue in the gun control movement. From its formation in 1974, the HLC has broken with prior organizations that had advocated banning guns. In 1977 a "palace coup" in the NRA transformed that organization from being a spokesman for hunters and rifle users. Prior to that it was unopposed to controls, a sharp contrast to its present fierce antipathy toward all such efforts. Since 1977, it has been highly successful in preventing national legislation for controls. While the HLC, on the other hand, has had some successes, such as the Brady bill, in the main it has not achieved most of its goals. Carter also reviews a number of polls concerned with the sources of gun control support and opposition. While he points to sources of financial support and lobbying activities of the NRA he has no clear analysis of why the organization has been so overwhelmingly opposed to any gun control measures, why its membership is so intense in their support and why legislators are so readily influenced by them. Perhaps there is no ready answer, but to attempt one is essential to more effective analysis. Other lobbying groups have not had intense support like that of the NRA. Perhaps the virtue of shortness is also the vice of limiting analysis. It is fate of studying ongoing movements to be overtaken by events after being written. Currently the movement is seeking its goals on local playing fields and in the courts. Nevertheless the author's historical and sociological data make it a necessary study for social movement analysis and for those concerned with the issues of guns and their control in America.

Carter, Gregg Lee. The Gun Control Movement. Twayne/Prentice Hall International, 1997. 166p bibl index afp ISBN 0-8057-3885-1

Carter's short book provides a useful introduction to issues related to gun control in the U.S. Among the critical questions he examines are American attitudes toward gun control and the degree to which these attitudes correspond to the agendas of key organizations such as Handgun Control Inc. and the National Rifle Association. In addition, this book explores conflicting interpretations of the Second amendment, the effect of the frontier legacy on American views of guns, and the connections among society, politics, and the gun control movement. In a very well balanced assessment, the author analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the pro- and anticontrol arguments and the organizational capacities of Handgun Control Inc. and the NRA. The introduction includes some valuable cross-national comparisons related to gun violence and gun control. The book also contains some important demographic profiles of typical pro- and anticontrol individuals, and examines the internal contradictionswithin each camp. In sum, this is a helpful overview situated in the broader context of social movement theory.

Book Description

Few social issues have produced more exaggerated claims and contention among Americans than the struggle to control gun violence. Fueling the emotional fire in debates between firearm groups such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) and gun control advocates is the dispute over the importance of guns in American culture. Is the fondness for firearms truly part of a venerable American tradition, one to be observed with very few limits? In this fascinating inquiry, Alexander DeConde delves into the myths and politics regarding gun keeping, as well as the controversies over gun use, crime, and policing from the early days of the republic to the present.

The fact that the second amendment to the constitution appears to protect the right of the citizenry to keep and bear arms has led many Americans to assume that our forebears were uniformly a gun-loving people. By the early 1900s, the image of the American pioneer building the nation with gun in hand had become a widely recognized symbol of virtue, self-reliance, and the fight against tyranny. This glorified perspective of civilian gun keeping, maintains DeConde, offered an appealing reason for allowing private citizens easy access to firearms. It also often intimidated those who deplored their lethal use.

The nation's early gun control advocates do not figure prominently in the history books, but despite their small numbers, they created a political legacy as impassioned as that of their pro-gun neighbors. DeConde shows that far from being a recent development, the gun control movement gained momentum among private citizens as an increasingly urbanized and industrialized country expanded westward and as small firearms became more numerous and deadly. In addition, he shows that local authorities increasingly sought to keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people. In response, gun owners banded together, forming a strong lobby capable of silencing these dissenting voices for their affront to the assumed American spirit.

DeConde's in-depth analysis challenges the folklore surrounding gun use and brings balance to the debates about gun control. It also explains why the United States, with all its resources, fails repeatedly to confine gun violence to the same low levels achieved by other advanced democracies.
